At our Tuesday staff meeting, we will return to our PLC revitalization discussing the following questions that the SMART Team had dialogue around at our last meeting. Day 6 on Wednesday is set aside for teams to decide on their third trimester essential learning, and common formative assessment, using our PLC Products document.

• What has gone well so far this year with the PLC revitalization? What progress have we made toward a successful implementation at our building?

• What has not gone well so far with our PLC rebooting? What unresolved issues are still getting in the way of our success?

• What strategies or suggestions do you have for us to overcome the challenges and to be more successful with our PLC revitalization?

Here's the link to the SMART Team responses regarding these three questions.
